Let's take a part of the U.S. with LOTS of trains ... New York City. You are in Brooklyn, you want to go to Queens, ten miles away. You want to take trains. You will have to go to Manhattan and transfer back. Or perhaps both Brooklyn and Queens should be ripped up for elevated trains or subways.

I lived in Chicago with no car for three years. From Hyde Park (U of Chicago) to the Pro Life Action League offices (northwest side, Cicero Ave.) took nearly three hours by public transport. Going to the nearest Montgomery Ward for a Coleco Adam ribbon wasn't much better.

Main reason to avoid “public” transportation: You have to be next to LIBs. There are limits to human tolerance.
